The grantee of any franchise under the terms of which the grantee is entitled to maintain rails or tracks in, along, or across any public place for the purpose of transporting passengers or freight thereover shall pave or repave all that portion of the street, highway, or other public place which is between the rails as well as an area two feet outside of and parallel to the rails and, if such track is located within a distance of eighteen feet or less from any other track owned by such grantee, then also the portion of the street, highway or public place lying between such separate tracks; and shall keep the same in repair, flush with the street and with good crossings. Such street work shall be done with the same kind of material as is used in the remaining portion of the street, highway or public place and in a manner satisfactory to the City; provided, however, that when in the opinion of the City the space between the rails and tracks of the grantee and two feet on each side thereof or any portion of the same is not required for purposes other than railway traffic, the same need not be paved in like manner as the remainder of the street or public place, but shall be treated in such manner as the City may direct. (Ord. 6517-NS § 1, 1999)
